Girl found unconcious inside home of South Lyon police chief during party

A teenage girl was found passed out in the home of South Lyon Police Chief Lloyd Collins during a New Year's Eve party on Dec. 31, 2018. Collins said he did not observe any drinking being consumed during the party and added he did not condone or authorize it.

A teenage girl was found passed out in the home of South Lyon Police Chief Lloyd Collins during a New Year’s Eve party.

Collins, who has served as the city's police chief since 1997, said he and his wife returned home later that evening as the party was in progress.

Hours later, a girl was found breathing, but unconcious, by paramedics on the floor before being sent to the hospital.

When Collins arrived home, he said nothing looked out of the ordinary as all the kids were either watching TV, playing Xbox games, or listening to music in the basement of the three-floor home as his adult daughter looked on serving as party chaperone.

Police showed up to the home around 11:30 to 11:45 p.m., according to Collins. According to Fox 2, the girl had texted her mother that she needed help shortly before passing out. The mother called 911.

“A breathalyzer was never given,” said Lt. Chris Sovik. “Police assisted the fire department in putting the girl on the gurney and into the ambulance.”

Sovik said Friday morning that until police are able to speak with the girl, the case will remain open and under investigation by South Lyon police. The girl has been discharged from the hospital, according to Sovik.

"We reached out to the family on Jan. 7," said Sovik. "I'm expecting to hear back from them Friday. We want to speak with the girl before we know to proceed with the investigation.”

Collins said he was told that the girl had a medical condition that caused her to pass out “frequently” in school. Police still do not know why the girl passed out whether it was alcohol or medical-related.

“There is some condition there,” said Collins. “I can’t say 100 percent 'no' that she didn’t drink at all at our residence. One could suspect, that even if she did drink, that this condition may have exacerbated the situation.”

On Dec. 31, Collins claims that he and his wife were asleep on the third floor when police and fire officials first showed up to the residence. The absence of his hearing aids, removed shortly before going to bed around 11 p.m., was the reason Collins gave for not being to hear any of the comotion in the home.

Living in the single-family residence are Collins, his wife, their daughter and three grandchildren. He said he does not condone drinking and that any alcohol being consumed was not his, his wife's nor his daughter’s.

He added that any alcohol being consumed may have been “sneaked in”, but said he never observed it being consumed himself.

According to Collins, all the children were under the age of 21. He’s not sure if his grandson drinks, but said “he may.”

"My daughter did have three kids, that she didn’t know, come to the door and one of them was carrying alcohol,” said Collins. “They were all turned away.”

Collins’ daughter did reach out the girl’s mother, who was "understandably angry" and "not eager to communicate", according to Collins.

The Oakland Press requested a copy of the police report, but were denied access as the investigation remains active.
